Paph. farrieanum x rungsuriyanum

First bloom for this lovely plant, gorgeous colours, dorsal not as I would have liked but still very pleased. There is a smaller bud underneath so will be interesting to see the difference. I think this is now registered as Hanoi Fairy.

way better than i expected. The rung seem dominant for colour.

Ozpaph's first sentence was my thought exactly. If the form was just a bit better that would be a very impressive outcome.

Colouration is great and it seems to be a compact plant.

Unfortunately fairrieanum F1 hybrids rarely have flat dorsal, a dominant feature of the species (along with the curved petals). But an equal bilateral mirror image of the dorsal curvature (and whole flower) might be the goal in this case, making it look more balance and ideal. Might correct in next bud or flowering.

Great coloring from the rung though.

That makes sense, thank you for the insight. The curves on the dorsal aren’t asymmetrical on this one but yes, will hopefully correct in future
